That was my thought, too. There is an appropriate way to tell your children that you were abused as a child - and, like [personal profile] melannen said, there was a real safety reason to do it when Grandma was still alive - but getting emotional validation/support isn't it. (It could arguably be a kind of emotional abuse!)

I think LW needs a support group for adult survivors of child abuse and maybe like a knitting circle or baking class, etc? Something to get out thee and make friends and widen their support circle naturally over time.
